I really wonder if Trump is playing a “reaganesque gambit”
Playing dumb while holding all the cards...
Regan could turn on the every-man simplistic appeal while chess mastering behind the scenes. That is one of the reasons the left keep insisting he was a dumb buffoon, when anyone who knew him personally and saw his personal library know otherwise from the dog eared and annotated copies of deep philosophical and economic literature books he kept.
No on can accuse Trump of being dumb.
